1 designates the urn. glass. or pitcher. and l a metal ring shaped to receive the base (it the urn or the like. tor which purpose the ring 2 is provided with an upwardly extending llai'igc which eoacts with the ring to Form a seat for the urn base, as clearly depicted in Fig". 2 oi the drawings. A second ring -*lat metal is shaped to receive the upper end oi the urn or the like and is provided with an enlarged portion 5. from which projects a pin or stud 6. formed with a vertical elon grated slot: 7. It will he understood that the ring t is secured to the urn solely by trictional contact tl'ierei'vit'h. the ring; 1- heinp capable of heinp; moved upwardly and lifted tree from engagement with the urn hy use of the hands.

9 designates the handle which has its lower end secured to the tlangre 3 oi the hase ring); 2. and at its upper end is provided with a socket 9 for the purpose ol. receiving the pin or stud t. as illustrated in Fig. 9 ol the drawings. The free end of the handle por 'tion 8 is provided with a circular outwardly 1. is a side eleex ending right angular llange 10. which :zhuts the enlarged part 5 ot the top ring 1. when the parts are in assenihled relation.

The locking? catch employed to secure the handle to the pin or stud (1 includes a piv oted latch ll. which is pirotally carried at l hy the top end portion ot the handle 9 adjacent the llang'e 'ltl thereo't. the tree end of the latch hcintr curved downwardly to eonl'orin to the general curvature of the up per portion at the handle ti. Latch 1'] carries a hand knoh 12 at its 'l'ree end and has an inlenral cani 'laced lug 1-lwhich extends through a slot 15 in the handle 3. lug 'tlhe ina' located adjacent its pivotal point 'lfl. so that the cam will. when inserted in the slot 7 ot the pin or stud t3. rid. against and on the rear wall lormed hy said slot 7 in pin or stud ti. and lrictionally locks the latch in locked position.

To remove the holder t'rom the urn. it is merely necessary to raise the latch 11 and then move the handle 8 outwardly so as to cause the pin or stud ti to heeonie 'lree 'lron'i engagement therewith. at; which time the ring -tmay he raised from the urn. and the latter may then he raised From the hasc ring); 9. therehy separating the parts for cleansing or other purposes. Furthermore should the urn heconie hroken. a new one may he suhstituted in an ohvious manner.
